12 Grand DayZ Out.

Again, I am aware I'm doing this without Nintendo's permission and do not take anything of Zelda, including names, characters, places and whatever else, to be my own.

Summary
Link has decided it's not easy being a Hero when a villain like Ganondorf threatens the world. Ganondorf has decided it's not easy being a King of Evil when there's a kid like Link around to foil his plans. Zelda thinks she's worst off as she's always the hostage. But of one thing they are certain. They long for a time to kick back, relax and forget their everyday life and expectations from others. They need to get away from it all. They strive for a holiday! Only after resorting to an all out strike, will Rarau listen to them. Where better to go than a lovely little Greek island?

Link marched boldly up the stairs at the peak of Ganon's Tower. Upon entering the room at the top, the door slammed shut behind him. He glanced around, taking in the surroundings. There were windows of stained glass surrounding him. The floor was tiled, and placed over them was a royal red carpet. There were statures in each corner, and a grand pipe organ opposite him. Ganondorf stood playing the instrument and completely ignoring Link. Above him was Zelda, imprisoned in a pink crystal looking prism, which hovered in the air. She looked worried, though relaxed slightly when Link entered. Still Ganondorf tried to ignore them both.

Link: Ahem…

Ganondorf: *Stopped playing the organ briefly* Get lost kid, I'm in a bad mood. A very bad mood. *Continued playing the organ*

Link: Eh? But…

Ganondorf: Whatever it is, the answers NO. I'm tired, fed up and I need a holiday. So just go. Away.

Link: *Stepped forward* Hang on, just because you're in a bad mood, doesn't mean to say that I'm…

Ganondorf: GET OUT!!

At this point the walls of the room shook and parts of the ceiling crumbled due to the immense noise. Link slowly backed away through the door, then turned and ran down the stairs. He was about half way down, when he gradually slowed down and stopped, looking deep in thought. After a short while, he walked back up to the top and back to where he was. Once again the door slammed shut behind. Ganondorf was still playing the organ, though the notes were very disjointed and even these seemed annoyed.

Link: Y'know, your right.

Ganondorf then stopped playing the organ, spun round and gave Link the most vicious glare.

Ganondorf: I thought I told you to…Eh? Oh, yes I know I need a break.

Link: Me too. Me too. It's not easy being a hero.

Zelda: Link? What are you thinking? In-case you've forgotten already, you slept for a whole seven years! That's almost half your life. How can you be tired already? I've spent most of my life avoiding him. *She Pointed at Ganondorf* That's not easy. He can get practically anywhere. I had to dress up as a boy for cripes sake!

Ganondorf: It's not easy being a King of Evil either with a meddling kid like him around that keeps killing everything, so then I create it all again. Then guess what? He goes and KILLS it all again!

Link: Well otherwise it'll kill me!

Ganondorf: That is no concern of mine.

Link: Don't push it…

Link waved his fist, and looked rather menacing. What he didn't think of course, was that this would only even infuriate Ganondorf further. However, he soon found out when he met with Ganondorf's fist and flew back into the wall.

Link: Ugh..

Zelda: Hey that was awful of you! I hope you feel bad about it.

Ganondorf: Guilt is not an emotion that I feel.

Zelda looked across at Link, who was slumped on the floor, severely winded after being punched so hard in the ribs. She then stared at Ganondorf and folded her arms, looking very angry.

Zelda: Well that's just you being formidable.

Ganondorf: That's really going to bother me… *Note the sarcasm*

Zelda: Anyway, Link, how can you be tired after sleeping seven years?

Link: *Got up slowly* …Because it's hard. Being the Hero. Running around, helping others, doing errands, you name it. Some of it gets pretty dangerous at times, and do I get paid decent? No! Only what you manage to pick up usually. And you just have to keep going, and fight in order to stay alive often, and sometimes…you get HURT.

He then scowled at Ganondorf, who quite frankly couldn't care less.

Link: As well as that, you know what's really annoying? I go around, doing all that and saving the world…and get absolutely NO recognition. In-fact, some people are rather rude and not pleasant to me at all, regardless of the fact I've just saved the whole damn world! Well I'm sorry but I've had enough. No more `Mr Save The World And Nobody Notices' today. No sir.

Zelda: Link that's preposterous, you can't just stop being the Hero Of Time just like that.

Link: Oh believe me I can.

Zelda: What!?

Link: I'm. On. STRIKE!

Ganondorf: AS AM I!

Zelda: Oh well, I guess I will too. We're ALL on strike.

Suddenly the room was filed with a bright blue light. Warm air brushed past their faces and then everything went white. A few seconds later it all merged back into vision. All three of them were in the Chamber of Sages. They were in the centre and Rarau stood facing them.

Rarau: What is going on? What are you all doing?

Link: *Waved a fist in the air* STRIKE! STRIKE! STRIKE!

Rarau: What!?

Ganondorf: You heard the kid, old fat one. We're on strike.

Rarau: What? Why?

Link, Zelda and Ganondorf: WE'RE TIRED, FED UP AND NEED A HOLIDAY.

They then went on to explain why and everything (But you don't need it all explaining again now do you.)

Rarau: So how am I supposed to keep you happy, Link and Zelda?

Ganondorf: 'scuse me?

Rarau: Ganondorf, I would go out of my way to make your life a misery, given the chance.

Ganondorf: Ah, I see…

Rarau: So Link and Zelda, what can I do for you?

Link: HOLIDAY, HOLIDAY HOLID…

Ganondorf. Shut up with that stupid voice already!

Zelda: A holiday would be nice.

Rarau: Where to?

Link: FAR AWAY, FAR AWAY, F…

*SMACK*

Ganondorf: Shut!…Up!

Link: *coughed* Sorry…

Zelda: Far away would be nice.

Ganondorf: *Smiled evilly and slowly rubbed his hands together* Yes, send them far away. Make my life so much easier without those two anywhere near to mess things up. Mwahaha…MWAHAHAHA

Rarau: On second thoughts, perhaps you would like to go too. But first, you'll all need to pack. You have one hour before you go.

Zelda: Only an hour? I best get going if I'm going to be ready by then.

Ganondorf: *Mumbled* So what'm I supposed to do for the other fifty five minutes?

Link: But…I always carry all my stuff with me. What'm a supposed to do for the whole hour?

One hour later

Link, Ganondorf and Rarau stood waiting for Zelda.

Link: How long does she have to take? I think we should go without her. Teach her not to be late.

Rarau: Now Link, this is her holiday too.

Link: But we're not going to get there any time soon at this rate…

Rarau: I'm sure she'll come. Probably just making sure she looks beautiful before she arrives.

Ganondorf: Oh Goddesses we're in for a long wait.

They waited. And waited. And just for a change, they waited some more. Link sat on the floor, using an arrow-head to draw patterns in the dust. Which was all very well, apart from there was no dust in the Chamber of Sages. Ganondorf had also sat down and was playing fives (An ancient game involving five small cubes, which are thrown in the air then caught on the back of the hand. At first one is to be caught, and then thrown back in the air. Whilst it is in the air, the player then has to pick up the other cubes from the floor one at a time and then catch the one thrown. The player keeps going, then after all cubes are collected, has to catch two on the back of its hand, and throw these two up and catch them both as well as scooping up the others. Then catch three, then four and then five. Suprisingly entertaining when you have nothing to do.) Only he had no cubes, so he used stones instead. Eventually, after waiting over another hour, Zelda arrived, followed by three servants, all heavily laden with luggage.

Zelda: Ok, I'm ready.

Link: And about time! You should have been here over an hour ago.

He didn't look pleased.

Zelda: Oh, er sorry but, er…my clock stopped and I didn't realise and then I thought it was a different time than what it was so I didn't come because I didn't think you'd be ready as I thought I'd only taken half an hour. But I'm hear now. And besides, I should not be rushed when packing. I may forget something and then I'd have to come all the way back to get it.

Link: No, you'd have to do without it.

Ganondorf: *Looked at all the cases Zelda had with her* Somebody doesn't travel light.

Zelda: Yes I know, but I'm sure you'll both help me carry my belongings…

Ganondorf: Not a sodding chance!

Zelda: But I can't carry them all by myself.

Ganondorf: Not my problem.

Rarau: Oh enough. Zelda, take what you can. Ganondorf, it would be nice if you helped her, and Link, you should too.

A vortex then appeared infront of them. Through it they could see a different realm. It looked sunny, and there were many trees, though it look as like it hadn't rained for quite some time, as the grass was all withered. The trees were still green.

Link: Where's that?

Rarau: Somewhere far, far away.

Link: Right. That'll do me.

He was about to jump through when he remembered to grab some of Zelda's luggage, snatched two cases and jumped into the vortex. He was then followed by Ganondorf, who made a point not to take any of Zelda's luggage. The two of them stepped out into the land.

Rarau: GANONDORF GET BACK HERE AND HELP ZELDA!

Ganondorf: And if I don't…?

Rarau: You had better do if you don't want Ruto and myself joining you on your holidays.

Ganondorf needed no time to think about this. He was back through the vortex so fast he almost left his shadow behind! Once there, he watched Zelda as she struggled to lift one case. He sighed discontentedly, and then picked up a case and threw it through the vortex.

At the other side, Link stood and waited, and was almost hit by the flying case just before it landed. He could hear voices coming from the vortex.

Ganondorf: *Still wasn't very pleased* There. Happy now?

Rarau: Hey, back here Mr, more than one case or else. You know the consequences if you don't…

The Gerudu picked up another case and chucked it through, once again narrowly missing throwing it on Link

Ganondorf: There, Link only took two!

Rarau: But Link took them first time and you didn't. And I did say I would make your life a misery.

Ganondorf: *Was a little fed up, or rather, completely fed up with Rarau* O.K FINE! Have it your freggin way…

He then walked straight over to Zelda, who was moving very slowly, dragging yet another full case behind her, picked her up, along with the rest of her cases (all at the same time) and threw them all through the vortex at once. Unfortunately for Link, he was stood right in their path, and ended up completely submerged in suitcases. And just to top it all off, Zelda landed on-top of the pile.

Link: I'm not having much luck today…

He pushed the suitcases to one side and Zelda helped him to his feet. Ganondorf stepped through the vortex and they all watched as it closed behind him.

Day 1

Ganondorf: *Much calmer, almost as if nothing had happened to annoy him* Well, that's that sorted. Where the hell are we?

Link and Zelda both shrugged. They had absolutely no idea, as it looked different to any place they'd ever seen. They were stood on a narrow dust-track on a mountain. Below them they could see a few small houses, some of them very old and run-down. Further on from that, they could see the sea, and then another land very close to the land they were on. However, this was still far from where they stood, as they were half way up a mountain. The sun beamed down, and the temperature was steadily rising.

Link: Oh, well that was nice of him, just leaving us in the middle of nowhere…

Link's pocket then shook and began to glow. He looked down and pulled out a pirate's charm stone.

Link: *Looked slightly bewildered* O…K, I didn't pack that. Have these even been invented yet?

Rarau: That's correct, I packed it for you so we can stay in-touch. And yes, the King made it only days ago. I sense your not completely happy with where you are. What's missing?

Link: Well, a house. To stay in.

Soon after he said this, a small house materialised in the trees near to where they stood. There were two rooms. (One bedroom and a sitting room). Enough space for two people to stay in.

Ganondorf. He really doesn't like me.

Link: But you don't like him.

Ganondorf: That's true, but…hey look at this. *He bent down and picked up a huge centipede, about 20cm long, it's body about 2cm wide, with each of it's 100 legs being about 5cm long, and a sizeable pair of pincers at the front* I wonder if anyone would notice if I put this down their back?

Link: Don't even think about it…

Ganondorf: *Completely ignored Link* I'd love to see their face. But who? Rarau has been gettin' up my back lately. Well perhaps this should go down his back... *He glared at the pirate's charm stone and smiled evilly*

The house then disappeared, and then a much bigger residence appeared in it's place. Big enough to fit five people in at least.

Ganondorf: And the rest, old man…

The grass around the house turned soft and lush. Paving stones replaced the stony path leading to the front door. A large table appeared by the back door, and then an huge sun umbrella. The ground then began to shake and a hole appeared in a secluded spot behind the house, and a (grand) swimming pool was created, with a (waterfall and everything). Surrounding the pool was white stone, then more soft green grass and some trees for shade.

Link: Not bad. Not bad at all.

Zelda: Ganondorf stop messing about with that…

Ganondorf turned to Zelda and showed her what he was holding, and `allowed her to take a closer look'.

Zelda: EEK GET IT AWAY FROM ME! LINK! DO SOMETHING! MAKE HIM STOP MAKE HIM STOP MAKE HIM AAAAAARGH GET IT AWAY FROM ME HELP! AAAAAARGH!

Zelda then ran into the house and locked herself in the bathroom and refused to come out. Link and Ganondorf both laughed, but stopped as soon as they could, to try and avoid annoying Zelda. But her face was immensely funny.

A while later

Link: Zelda, you can come out now he's put it down.

Zelda: What? That means it could be anywhere!

Link: If you see it again I'll get rid of it for you.

Zelda: Promise?

Link: I promise.

Zelda: What if he picks it up again?

Link: Oh, I wouldn't worry about that. It almost bit him so…

Ganondorf. So I'll be more careful next time. Are you going to come out yet?

Zelda: Not if you're going to do that again.

Ganondorf: Didn't realise you were so squeamish about such things.

Link: She's arachnophobic.

Zelda: Oh thanks for telling him. Now he knows what I'm scared of so he's just going to rub it in and scare me with them whenever he can now.

Ganondorf: What could possibly make you think that?

Zelda: Instinct…

Link: Oh stop being so paranoid and come out. It's just an insect after-all. A little insect.

Zelda still refused to come out. Link tried and tried to convince her that it was safe, but would she listen? Yes, but not take any notice. She kept saying they were winding her up, or that it would have come back without them noticing or something along those lines. Ganondorf even apologised to her and promised not to do it again and told her he was off to carry her bags in for her on condition she came out. Still she didn't trust him (no surprises there then right?) and wouldn't come out, so Ganondorf carried them all outside again, and left them further away from where they were in the first place. They were ready to give up.

Ganondorf: Fine let her stay in there. She'll have to come out eventually.

Link: Damn right she does. *He turned to the bathroom door and crossed his legs.* Some of us need to use the bathroom. NOW!

Later that evening.

All three of them had settled in quite nicely. Each had their own bedroom. The room Link had chosen was a very traditional style room. It was fairly plain, with a wooden floor and a beam in the centre to support the roof. On this beam hung various household items such as old keys, plates and a horseshoe. There was a window on one wall, with long fine curtains. On two of the walls there were simple wall hangings to liven up the plain surface. It had a very authentic Greek feel to it. Zelda on the other hand, chose the room with the large mirror and huge wardrobe, for obvious reasons. The room which Ganondorf occupied was spacious and down-stairs, and was carved into the rock, so was often dark and cool. It had plenty of floor space and a large bed, and was also very authentic. The down side? A low ceiling. They were all sat on the balcony watching the sun go down.

Link: I wonder what's going on in Hyrule right now?

Ganondorf: I don't know, and I don't care.

Link: You don't care about much do you.

Ganondorf: Well I do care about…no I don't actually now I come to think about it. Not much at all.

Link: Do you care about the world? About other people? Yourself? Your influence on others?

Ganondorf: Some of it, some of them, sometimes and no.

Zelda: You don't care about your influence on others, even though it could be a bad influence, or in your case, would be a bad influence?

Ganondorf: No.

Zelda: Not even on children?

Ganondorf: No.

Zelda: Well that's not very nice.

Ganondorf: I don't care

Zelda: Well he should, shouldn't he Link?

Link: Well maybe if he wasn't King of Evil. A King of Evil who's all loving and caring might not quite look right. And Ganondorf, what are you doing?

Ganondorf: Five's.

Link: Oh.

Day 2

Zelda: Link wake up

Link: Ungh…*He rolled over and tried to look sound asleep, but failed to do so as he rolled off the end of the bed and landed on the floor* Oof! I'm up.

Zelda: Hahaha you fell out of bed.

Link: *Stood up quickly* No I didn't! Erm, that was my way of getting up…hehe… all perfectly planned. And what's the rush to get me up so early.

Zelda: It's not early. It's 7:30 in the morning!

Link: What? You mean this time in the morning actually exists?

They both went out and sat in the sun. Zelda got out her book and sat reading it, but with one eye constantly on the look out for centipedes. Link on the other hand, found a shady spot and a towel, laid it out flat and then lay down and went back to sleep. It was late morning when he woke up again. By this time, Ganondorf was also up. Or at least had moved out of bed and outdoors, where he lay basking in the sun, dressed in `summer' clothes. (Yet these were still long and mainly black, but loose. Though there were no spikes and he carried no dangerous items, apart from his fists) Zelda was sat under a tree making daisy chains.

Zelda: Link, I made you a present to wear.

Link: Huh? A daisy chain. Well, thanks but I don't think I'd suit it to be honest.

Zelda: Oh but you'd look so pretty. Please Linky.

Ganondorf: Ahahaha, Linky

Zelda: I made one for you too. You'll both wear them. Linky and…er…Ganny.

Ganondorf: Do NOT!

Link: Zelda, I know you may find this difficult to understand, but well, we. Do. Not. Wear. Daisy. Chains. If we do, we'll look like puffs.

Later, by the pool

Link: Hmmm, it's pretty hot here, don't you think?

Zelda: I know, I'm roasted.

Ganondorf: It's not too hot. Just nice and warm, but not hot.

Link: Yes well you come from a desert, you're used to the heat.

Zelda: I'm too hot. *She fanned herself vigorously with one of the fans she had packed*

Ganondorf: Well I know how to sort that out.

Link and Zelda: You do?

Ganondorf then got to his feet, picked up Zelda in one arm, and Link in the other. He wandered over to the pool side, and threw them both into the centre of the water.

Zelda: EEK! It's cold.

Link: Ah, its cold.

Link and Zelda both splashed around in the pool, which was clean and clear and cool. Zelda complained that her clothes would take ages to dry, but then decided it didn't matter too much as she had plenty spare. After a while of swimming and diving, playing and relaxing, they both went and sat on the step under the waterfall, and let the water wash over their heads and down their backs. Ganondorf still lay basking in the sun, half asleep. After a while Link and Zelda climbed out of the pool. Zelda went inside to dry and change her clothes. Link crept quietly up to the sleeping Gerudu, removed his soaked tunic and rung it out, raining water onto Ganondorf's face.

Ganondorf: (Without moving or opening an eye) Thank you! *Yet more sarcasm*

Link: You're welcome. *Rung out more water from his tunic*

Ganondorf: Y'know, usually I'd probably go and throw you in the pool again, or over a cliff or something. But I can't be bothered to move.

That evening was spent in much the same way as the previous one, although conversation did vary a little.

Day 3

It was around 10:30am

Zelda: I want some breakfast. We forgot about that yesterday. And dinner, we didn't eat at all yesterday. How could we forget to eat?

Link: I didn't forget to eat. I just didn't eat, because we haven't any food. Believe me I don't forget food.

Zelda: Well what will we do for food? Where can we buy any.

They managed to find the pirate's charm stone and called Rarau.

Rarau: What?

Link: Where do we get food?

Rarau: There's a market not far down the road, I'm sure you'll find food there. Oh, and here, you'll need this. *He threw a bag filled with money*

Link: What's this?

Rarau: They don't accept rupees where you're staying. I gave you a bit extra so you can hire some horses. There's a place a little further up the mountain. *He then disappeared*

Link: Right so I'm guessing we need the horses for transport. Well I'm hungry so lets go. Ganondorf, you coming?

They all set off along the road. (well…dust track.)

Link: So the place is further up the mountain.

Zelda: Well that narrows it down. This whole place seems to be one big mountain!

Ganondorf leapt high into the air and hovered for a brief moment. He then lowered slowly.

Ganondorf: It's about 800 metres further up this road, and then take a left and keep going for about another 500metres.

10 minutes later

They came to a place where some horses were tethered to trees. well, they were small horses, or ponies. Though there seemed to be nobody around to ask about them. Link wandered up to one of them and patted it on the neck. At that moment, an funny young man with dark hair and a long beard, wearing old clothes and a straw hat appeared. He dashed over to Link and spoke very quickly. (I must apologise, my Greek is not what you could call fluent, so mistakes are inevitable. I do try my best!)

Farmer: I blepo eseis blepe-be endieferomenos mesa aftoi dikos-mou alogos gia enoikiazo. Eseis brisko kalo aftous, malista? Pos polloi eseis chreiazomai? O opoios panta eteis anagki. Arthro timi? Arthro kallistos opoiosdipote mporo brisko. Yposchesi!

Link: Eh?

Farmer: I blepo eseis peripou apo dikos-mou prostimo alogos. Aftoi echo poly kala troposs. Dino eseis poly logikos timi. Pouthena boulisi eseis brisko a beltiono douleai.

Link: Oh great, we don't speak the language.

Ganondorf: We'll take two horses.

The farmer continued to untie all of the horses and lead them over to Link and Ganondorf. Zelda stood patting the white horse.

Ganondorf: No, two. Not all six of them! *He held out two fingers*

Farmer: Brachos Efima Psalidi! Eseis kerdizo, eseis mporo echo aftous gia eleytheros. An eseis chano, eseis plirono perissotero chrimata na ego o idios. Megalos idea. Proparaskeyazo gia katabillo!

He then held out a fist for the rock, and bashed Ganondorf's fingers as the `rock crushes the scissors'.

Link: Oh no, he thought we were playing Rock Paper Scissors…

Ganondorf: What was that for? He…hit me…*raised a fist*

Link: *Placed his hand on Ganondorf's fist as he drew it back* Now let's not hit back.

Ganondorf: *Dropped his fist to his side and scowled* Grrr. You're lucky I'm on holiday…

Link then took two of the ponies and gave the man some money.

Zelda: I want the white one.

Link: Ok fine. *Swapped the brown pony for the white one* Ganondorf, why only two. Aren't you having one?

Ganondorf stood next to the pony (Which was actually an Icelandic Pony) and looked down at it. There he was, looking at this 13hh pony (one hand high (hh) is about 10cm, for those who didn't know) which was about 130cm tall at the top of it's back, when he was used to his horse which stood at nearer 2 metres tall.

Ganondorf: Could be a little small. Rarau! My horse!

A vortex appeared in the sky, and his horse thundered toward the earth, letting out a shrill call. The poor farmer was terrified. He looked at Ganondorf, dressed in black, and then up to the black horse which landed and stood proud, snorting and stamping it's hoof. Ganondorf mounted up, and the stallion began to prance, so Ganondorf held him back which only made him more agitated.

Farmer: ARTHRO TETARTOS ALOGOS-ANDRAS PARA ARTHRO APOKALYPSI! *He ran away as fast as he could*

Ganondorf: What got him?

Rarau: He thought you were the Fourth Horseman of the Apocalypse.

Ganondorf: Oh. So he thinks I'm Death. Do I look like the Grim Reaper to you?

Link: If one uses their imagination a little. Huge black stallion modelling silver armour just appearing out of the sky. And you're wearing a lot of black. That outfit's very gothic. And the cloak's long, loose and sort of creates a hood. It could look like a robe I suppose. You have a sword, not to mention you're pretty big, strong, dark and your eyes glow.

Ganondorf: I see…But I'm not a skeleton and I don't carry a scythe! Can we go, I can't hold this guy back forever y'know. Plus, Death rides a white horse.

Afternoon

They rode into the town. Zelda on her pony, whom she had called Filika and Link on is (slightly bigger, about 14hh) bay pony which he named Perry, and Ganondorf at the front on his stallion titled Arravis-Drachire (pronounced Ara-viss Drack-ear and roll the r's), but he tended just to call him Arravis or Drachire. They got many strange looks from local folk, as they were wearing completely different clothing from anyone else. (Well a bright green tunic along with a Hyrulian shield and a sheath yielding a sacred sword, a long princess style dress or black medieval armour with spikes and all, are not often worn by Greek people.)

Ganondorf: *To a passer by* What are you staring at?

Link: Oh don't mind them. Possibly haven't seen a Hero of Time, a Princess and a King of Evil before, especially not all at the same time and not trying to kill each other.

Zelda: Look, there's the market square. C'mon lets get something to eat.

They stopped by some trees in the park and tied the horses in the shade. Filika and Perry stood as calm as could be, but Arravis stomped around in circles, trying to break his tether. They all went to the market, though Link wanted to stay on the swings but Zelda wouldn't let him, so he wasn't best pleased. They all went off separately to find what they wanted. Link found a stall selling corn-on-the-cob, and he couldn't go by without getting some, and then plenty extra for at the apartment. He also bought some pasta, source to go with it and some white bread. Ganondorf managed to find a place selling rice and he also bought biscuits for snacks. Zelda was the one who bought all the fruit and vegetables, as she thought neither of the other two would buy any. By the time they returned, lots of children had gathered around, patting the horses. Arravis didn't approve of this, so the snorting and stamping kept the small children at bay, but they just turned their attention to the other two. Perry and Filika were loving it. Link, Zelda and Ganondorf decided to sit and have breakfast (at about 3pm) in the park, and let the kids pat the horses. Soon, four older lads, aged around 14 came to look at the horses, then ran around chasing the smaller ones away. All the screaming and rushing annoyed Arravis-Drachire and he started snorting and stomping again. The lads thought this was funny, and kept dashing up to the horse and hitting it, then running just out of reach as he charged toward them. Again and again they continued to do this. Again and again Arravis-Drachire charged, and the rope holding him became weaker and weaker. Eventually he reared right up on his hind legs. The tether frayed. He swung from side to side, constantly pulling away. Suddenly it snapped and he was free to roam. The stallion roared and leapt forward at the teenagers, who turned and ran for their lives as the huge beast thundered toward them. It wasn't long before they found themselves trapped against the high fence, and the stallion racing onwards, eyes blazing with fury. Just in the nick of time, the stallion's head swung round abruptly as though it was pulled back.

Link: *Pulled hard on Arravis-Drachire's rein* WHOA LAD. Steady Arravis, whoa lad.

The stallion stopped charging and pivoted on the spot. Still he reared up over his master and tried to pull free. Link held on tight and refused to let go, dodging the horses hooves as it kicked around wildly.

Link: Whoa lad. No I'm not letting go so get that idea out of your head.

Yet Arravis-Drachire wouldn't stop and continued rearing and kicking out, snorting wildly and jumping around trying to get away. Link had a tough time avoiding getting kicked in the head but still refused to let go, as he knew he wasn't going to let a horse mess him about. He yanked hard on the rein and pulled the horses head back down.

Ganondorf: *From by the tree* ARRAVIS! ENOUGH!

The stallion stopped rearing at immediately and tried to look innocent as if to say `I didn't do anything'

Link: Thank you. *Turned to the teenagers, who were huddled in a corner* If ANY of you EVER touch this horse again, and if ANYTHING like this EVER happens again, YOU WILL NOT LIVE to regret it, as you won't live at all. Because next time, I'll not come and stop him. UNDERSTOOD?

Of course, the young lads couldn't understand a word said to them, but from the tone of voice used, decided it was best to leave. And after looking at the expression on Link's face, ran like hell.

Day 4.

The horses were grazing in the paddock and everything was very still, with no sound apart from the occasional bird. Link had awoken early and was stood watching the horses and gazing through the morning mist. He smiled. Everything was very tranquil.

(From inside) Zelda: EEK! LINK, THERE'S A CENTEPIDE IN MY ROOM!

Link sighed. The shriek had startled all wildlife from around him as he watched it so peacefully.

Zelda: LINK! IT'S MOVING!

Eventually Link wandered inside to get it out, only to find Ganondorf stood holding it and Zelda in the bathroom again.

Link: Don't start…

Ganondorf: What? I wasn't going to. I promised I wouldn't, remember? And besides, I don't think she'd ever come out again if I did so I'm putting it outside. YEE-OUCH! It bit me! Why you little…I'll show you! *Launched it out the window and practically over the horizon*

Link: Are they poisonous?

Ganondorf: *Laughed briefly and then stopped* I hope not.

The pirate's charm glowed from the table, where Link had left it.

Rarau: I'm afraid it is.

Ganondorf: Oh. Damn. So now what?

Rarau: You're going to die.

Ganondorf: WHAT? No way, I've had worse.

Link: Rarau, are you serious?

Rarau: Well if you don't get the antidote, then yes…eventually. If you want it, go to the pharmacy.

Ganondorf: Eventually meaning…as in the time you die of old age anyway?

Rarau: You should live a fair while with it. Few days perhaps. Maybe even a week or two. Depends how you react to it I guess. Could only be a day, hours even, or less.

Ganondorf: Shut up trying to scare me.

Link: Rarau be serious. Is it that bad?

Rarau: It's bad. But not quite as deadly as that. I don't think. Well actually I'm not sure…

Link: So it's poisonous then.

Rarau: It is, and very painful. It spreads too, so your whole body will ache eventually. Very badly, so I'm told. And then you die.

Ganondorf: Oh. Oh that could be bad. *Looked at his hand. It was really starting to feel the effects. Which were getting worse already.* I really hate that centipede.

Link: Oh whatever, let's just go. Zelda come out that bathroom AT ONCE!

Early afternoon, in town

Zelda: Y'know Ganondorf, after this you should be so thankful. So you'd better be nice to us.

Ganondorf: I thought I was being nice anyway? How nice do I have to be to be nice!?

Link: Good point. Why are you being so pleasant? You're supposed to be evil.

Ganondorf: I'm on holiday. I don't have to be evil all the time y'know. I'm taking a break. I'm taking a break from being evil, as hard as that may be for me. Y-you want me to change? Y-you want me to be evil? Well that suits me just fine, 'cause all this being nice to you two, of all people. That can all change easily. I'll gladly be evil again. No problem, so if that's what you want…

Link: NO! No no no it's fine, honestly.

Ganondorf: *looked suspiciously into Link's eyes* Are you sure…?

Link smiled and nodded quickly.

They rode into the town centre, where again they got some strange looks. Link saw the four boys from the day before. They saw Link, who scowled at them and drew his sword and glared evilly in their direction. He laughed as they ran away terrified, then returned his sword to his sheath and continued to laugh.

Zelda: Link how could you? You know scaring people unnecessarily is wrong. That's more like something Ganondorf would do.

Link: Ah, but you see. I too am on holiday so I too can be different. Ganondorf, how's you hand? Still hurting?

Ganondorf: Oh, a lot more than my hand hurts. Where's this pharmacy. *Turned to Link* What is a pharmacy?

Zelda: It must be their version of a potion shop. That's it there I think, with the cross outside. I can read most of it but some of those letters I've never seen before.

Inside

There many people inside, all queuing to get to the counter, where three young women worked frantically to try and serve everybody.

Zelda: Oh great. It'll take all night to reach the counter at this rate. Can you hold on for that long?

Ganondorf: I suppose. It's not that bad really. If I keep telling myself that, eventually I can delude myself into believing it. *Forced a smile*

Link: Oh enough of this. *Looked at Ganondorf, who was trying to convince himself that it didn't hurt. Link looked at his hand, which had swollen up considerably, and then whispered something to him, smiled and nodded*

Zelda: What's going on? Link it's rude to whisper.

Link: I have a cunning plan. *He whispered in Zelda's ear, and she too smiled and nodded* (Still whispering) Ready everybody? Go.

Ganondorf: *Clutched his arm* AAAAAAARGH. *Stumbled forward onto his knees. Link rushed forward to support him*

Link: *Pulled him up and put Ganondorf's arm round his shoulder to support him* I got you. HE NEEDS HELP.

Zelda: Oh my gosh. *Pushed through the crowd* Step aside people. Dying person coming through! Come on, move it move it move it! Out of the way people, come on come on. Your not helping now MOVE

Everybody stood aside and allowed them through quickly. Zelda shoved aside any who were in the way, and it was not long before they were at the front. Everyone was looking very concerned, and many women lead their children outside.

Pharmacist: (In fairly good English) What is the matter with him? What has happened?

Zelda: He's been bitten by one of those *pointed to a picture on the desk* and reacted badly to it.

Pharmacist: Oh this is bad. Come through to the back now. Quickly, no time to lose.

They all followed her through to the back room, where there was a bed and many medical and herbal treatments stacked on the walls. They all sat on the bed, Ganondorf breathing heavily. The pharmacist told them he must stay awake, and wasn't allowed to pass out. She started rummaging through the medical equipment.

Link: (in a whisper) How you doing?

Ganondorf didn't reply, but stared straight ahead of him, his breathing still coarse and sweat pouring from his brow. His eyes were dim on the odd occasions that he opened them.

Link: I don't think he's faking it anymore. Hurry up over there!

Eventually the pharmacist rushed back over to them, with a needle and some solvent.

Link: Zelda, you may want to look away now…

After the treatment, Ganondorf who was told to rest. After a while he insisted he would at the apartment and that he would be fine. But he wasn't going to stay. The pharmacist wasn't best pleased about it, but agreed on condition he took some of the herbal medicine with him and to have it twice a day until it ran out. (After giving him another shot of whatever was in the needle before)

Back at the apartment.

Zelda: How are you now?

Ganondorf: I'm fine. Sort of…ish. Oh I'm going to bed. For six months. Because by then, I might feel normal again. *went inside*

Zelda: We'll be out here if…ok fine ignore me then.

Ganondorf: I will.

Link: Well I'm off in the pool. You coming in Zelda?

Again they both splashed around, messing about in the water. It was around four o'clock, so the sun wasn't blazing too much. They stayed in there for an hour or so, and then spent the evening outside, gazing up at the stars.

The next few days were spent at the apartment, relaxing and enjoying the sun. Link got a little bored from time to time, so went for walks in the woods and around the local area, exploring towns and countryside and often getting himself lost. He managed to find his way home eventually, even if it was about one o' clock in the morning. Zelda of course wasn't exactly happy when he did this, and Ganondorf wasn't exactly bothered.

Day 8, mid-morning.

They had decided to go out. They had spent the last few days in, and it was time to find something to do. They had set off early, and trekked through many small villages, through dense forests (made up entirely of olive trees) and a couple of larger towns. Eventually they decided to stop at one of the beaches, with a town nearby.

Link: I thought you were staying in bed for six months.

Ganondorf: Yes, well. I felt better earlier than expected.

Link: 5 months, 29 days, 18 hours and 37 minutes earlier?

Ganondorf: Something like that. How could you be bothered to work that out?

Link: *Smug* Me are smart.

Zelda: Not as smart as me. I have the Triforce of Wisdom.

Link: Without that, you'd be um…*paused and tried to find the right word* Un-smart!

Zelda: That's not true. I was wise as a child, remember.

Link: I remember you roped me into opening the Door of Time so then Ganondorf got into the sacred realm and stole the Triforce. Exactly what wasn't supposed to happen. Note the word wasn't.

Zelda: Yes, well. How was I to know he would steal it?

Ganondorf: They don't call me the King of Thieves for nothing.

Link: Yes, well he's not a very good thief anyway. And if you try and steal one thing from me, you'll be sorry.

Ganondorf: Is that so?

Link: You will be when you feel the edge of the Master Sword at your throat.

He reached for his sword, but his hands clasped only air. He glanced round, only to see Ganondorf resting it in his hand.

Ganondorf: It's got a good sharp blade I suppose. Nice weight. Not too heavy, not too light. Easy to manoeuvre. I advise you take care of it. Good swords like this don't come about that often.

Link: *Looked dull* Ok, you can give me the Master Sword back now.

Zelda: I thought he couldn't touch that. The sacred blade which evil ones may never touch.

Ganondorf: That's why I'm holding it by the sheath.

Link: Ok but I still have my light arrows…Ok you can give those back too!

Ganondorf: *Laughed and looked proud* For a bad thief I think I did rather well to get these without you noticing. And these. *Held up Link's wallet, Zora tunic and Golden Gauntlets*

Link: But…I'm wearing those gauntlets!?

Ganondorf: Not anymore.

Link: Ok fine you've made your point. You're a highly skilled thief now give those back this instant.

Zelda: *Completely oblivious to the fact Link was desperately trying to grab back his items, which Ganondorf held high in the air way out of anybody's reach and so Link was getting more and more irate* Let's go for a swim.

In the sea

Link: I like the sea. It's really nice and cool.

Zelda: I like it when it's clear and I can see what I'm standing on.

Link: I like that too…

Ganondorf appeared from under the waves. His hair hung down and covered his face.

Link: You really ought to tie your hair back when swimming. If you did, that wouldn't happen.

Zelda: Or get a haircut.

Ganondorf: NO! No haircut.

Link: What's wrong with…

Ganondorf: *Looked as though he was casting upon tragic memories* I don't want to talk about it…

Link: Ok then. Last one over to the rock's a turnip.

They all swam as fast as they could. Link pulled on his Zora mask and sped away.

Zelda: That's cheating!

Ganondorf: Well two can play at that game. *Clapped his hands once, then teleported and stood on the rock which Link had almost reached*

Link: Damn-it I was so close! That was cheating. Oh hold on, I was cheating. Damn!

Zelda *Finally caught them up* Well I win 'cause I played fair.

Link: Fair enough. There's lots of fish here. I like fishes, and those are really bright colours. And look, a star fish! Not only that, but these fish don't try and eat you. Ganondorf move, I want to be up there. *Pushed him off the rock*

Ganondorf: *Stumbled over the edge and landed in the water with a splash and got a mouthful of salty water* Argh! Bloody hell that tastes awful. I'll get you for that. *Created a large wave which washed over the rock and dragged Link off the top with it*

Link: Right! That's it!

This eventually mounted up into a full-blown fist fight, along with headlocks, arm locks, karate chops, hip throws, kick throws, front flips, back twists flying fists and whatever other moves you can think of. And possibly more added on to that.

Zelda: Boys, boys. That's quite sufficient thank you. Come on now, no more fighting. Are you listening to me?

The two of them continued pelting the living daylights out of each other.

Zelda: Now then let's leave it there, break it up you two.

They both completely ignored her and kept pulverising one another

Zelda: WILL YOU TWO STOP THAT!

They both stopped.

Link: He started it.

Zelda: None of your excuses, either of you.

Link: But

Zelda: But nothing, it ends now.

Link: He…

Zelda: I'm not interested in who or what started it. Now it is finished and that is final!

Later

After staying at the beach for some time, they had dried off in the sun and were sitting in a café near the sea with a drink.

Link: We absolutely do have to come back here. Beaches are fun.

Zelda: Ok we'll come back on one condition. No more fighting!

Day 9

By the time everybody was up, it was mid morning. By the time Zelda was ready to go out, it was mid-afternoon. They had decided to hit the town. (Link was literally going to hit the town, or anything if Zelda hadn't hurried up) After all, he was hoping to spend the day in the bustle of the town. Instead, he had spent nearly half of it waiting around. He had tried to find stuff to do, but he was restless. He'd already brushed the horses until they were spotless, wiped his shield until it sparkled and his sword, made carvings in a tree of strange and distorted patterns, drawn a masterpiece in the dust, gone through every song he knew on the ocarina and ones he didn't and he'd even taken to reading. Ganondorf on the other hand, had basked in the sun the whole time. When Zelda was finally ready they'd practically forgotten what they were going to do!

Link: Oh, could it be her ladyship is finally ready? After all these years of powdering and perfecting? Could it be lady fondness of face makeup has completed her perilous task to fake up her face with a tonne of…whatever you call that stuff within the endless time limit? Could it be she's ready to be seen in public?

Zelda: Well I'll only be a few more minutes, I just need to

Link: WE ARE LEAVING RIGHT NOW!

Zelda: Hang on just a few minutes and I'll be with you.

Link: I can't understand how it takes women so long. Ganondorf, you grew up round women, you must understand them better than I do. Why does it take them so long?

Ganondorf: One of life's mysteries us men were never destined to perceive.

Link: Come again?

Ganondorf: I haven't got a clue.

Link: Zelda, this is you last chance. Come now or we're going without you and I am serious.

Zelda: Ok fine I'm coming. All I need to do is

Link: I don't care we're going now, not later. Now!

In town.

It was not exactly busy in town, as many shops had closed for the afternoon. (They tend to do this every summer in Greece, as it gets so hot and most locals have a siesta and usually re-open around 4 or 5 o'clock) There were a few people about, but most were indoors. Link and co. stopped in the park for a while.

Link: Finally! An empty swing! *Ran off to go on the swing*

Zelda: Oooh lovely. There's one for me. Ganondorf, push me!

Ganondorf: Gladly. *Pushed her over*

Zelda: Not like that! On the swing you idiot. Push the swing. Are you stupid!?

Ganondorf: Actually, now you come to mention it, my IQ does then to drop a little on holidays.

Link: You mean you actually have an IQ?

Zelda: But are you that stupid!?

Ganondorf: No. And yes I do have an IQ. But you asked me to push you, so…

Zelda: You know, what I meant.

Later

The shops had all opened again and the town was getting very busy.

Zelda: What exactly are we here for?

Link: To buy something. I thought you girls loved shopping.

Zelda: I do, and…is that the biggest clothes shop I've ever seen? Yes!

Link: There is no way I'm setting foot in a posh girlie shop like that. Look, with all those dresses, skirts, handbags, nail stuff, hats and everything I might feel out of place. But if you want to go…Zelda?

Zelda: *Already inside* I've died and gone to heaven.

Link: Zelda, we'll be around town. Meet you at the square in that café with the big umbrellas in say couple of hours? Zelda! I said…

Zelda: Yes, yes I heard you the first time. Go on, off you go. I'm busy.

They left Zelda to do her own thing, and wandered round the town for a while. They stopped in a few shops, but not a lot really took their fancy.

Link: I want to get Malon a present.

Ganondorf: You like her, don't you.

Link: What? Yes she's my friend. Not like that. *Blushed*

Ganondorf: Not like that I'm sure…

Link: Yes, well. I still want to get her something. What the hell am I going to get her?

Ganondorf: Zelda likes clothes and stuff.

Link: She's nothing like Zelda. She's a farm girl.

Ganondorf: Oh, well I don't know.

Link: You must know what girls like.

Ganondorf: Not farm girls. For presents my ladies like bracelets, necklaces, hair clips and such. But for living we Gerudu treasure weaponry and water.

Link: That's it! A hair clip!

They searched round the little shops for a while until Link found one that he thought was perfect. It was a dark brown wooden clip with a large a hand carved Greek pattern engraved into it. It was flawless.

Link: I think she'll look so lovely wearing her hair up in this.

Ganondorf: Of course you'd think that. You like her.

Link: Do you have the money?

Ganondorf: Yes it's here somewhere. *Searched his pockets* Oh wait, Zelda…had…it. *His words trailed off as they both realised that they were probably never going to see it again*

Link: You are joking? Your not are you. Well fine, I'll pay with whatever money I've got.

He went up and placed the clip on the counter. He reached for his wallet and pulled out 20 rupees.

Man. (In not so good English) We not take that. Only Greece money.

Link: But it's all I've got and this is important.

Man: Greece money. No that.

Link: Please we haven't got anything else other than rupees.

Man: No that. No Greece money no buy it. Simple.

Link then lunged forward, grabbed the mans shirt and pulled him over the counter and pushed him to the floor. Standing on his ribs, Link drew his sword and held it to the man's throat. His eyes went narrow and he spoke quietly, in almost a whisper but the tone was harsh.

Link: You will take…

The man, in shock and terrified swallowed hard and whispered.

Man: Ok, I take no money. You have for nothing now go. Let me live.

Link stood tall but didn't lose eye contact with the man. He withdrew his sword and placed it back in his sheath. His look was deadly serious. As he strolled out the shop everybody backed away. As soon as he stepped outside, he and Ganondorf both burst out laughing.

Ganondorf: Didn't know you had that in you. Nicely handled.

Link: Ah well it's like I didn't know you had a nice side. *Sinisterly looked Ganondorf in the eye* I didn't get where I am today by saving up my money only for people not to accept it.

Ganondorf: *Backed away slightly* Yes, I'm sure Link…

That night, Link managed to `buy' a new wallet, a picture for his house (When I say picture, it was another Greek carving in some wood, mounted and framed) and a mandolin to play. Ganondorf didn't buy anything. However, he managed to steal a throw, a picture of the horsemen of the apocalypse and a fairly large terracotta pot which he could keep water in back at the fortress. (Exactly how he managed to steal these without anyone noticing would be a little difficult to explain, so I'll leave that to your own imagination.)

They met Zelda at the café later on, and to no surprise she was laden with bags of clothes, hats, mirrors, handbags etc. Also, to no surprise, she had ran out of money. They decided to stay and eat out in town. Zelda wondered how they were going to pay, but Link told her he would sort that out.

Day 10

Link had insisted they went back to the beach, so they did. The beach was a little more crowded than before, but the sand was still white, the sun was still shining and the sea was still crystal clear.

Zelda: The sun's so strong. We need a sun umbrella or we'll get sun burned.

Link: No we won't. You and I maybe, but not him. *He pointed at Ganondorf who was trying to get his horse to stand still whilst tied up, rather than nearly snapping the rope again. It was just giving him a hard time.*

Link pulled out a bucket and spade which he had `bought' and started building a sand-castle. Zelda sat fanning herself. Link was almost finished by the time Ganondorf arrived. He was out of breath.

Ganondorf: Note to self. Next time…get a mare. *Flopped on the sand*

Link: Nah, they get real stroppy.

Zelda: My horse at home, Minstrel, is perfect. He always does as he's told.

Ganondorf: That's 'cause you can't ride. So you need a good one or else you'd fall.

Zelda: Yes I can! I just don't have to ride naughty ones. *She ran over to steal Link's hat, (How she would manage this I don't know. Have you noticed how Link's hat never falls off?) but stood on his sand-castle in the process.*

Link: How could you! That was…the best…I've…You should be sorry! *He threw a clump sand at Zelda with no intent of it hitting her. It all went in her hair.*

Zelda: My hair! Link, that's all gone in my hair…Do you realise how long that's going to take to get out? And after I spent so long getting it right? Only to have somebody make a mess of, no, RUIN my hairstyle!?

Link: *Backing away from Zelda* Who's for a swim?

They all ran down to the sea. Only Zelda tripped over and fell flat on her face about half way, so Link ran back up to get her. By the time they got into the water, Ganondorf was no-where in sight.

Link: I wonder where Ganondorf went?

Zelda: I have no idea. Never mind, he'll turn up. You always do, even if it is 1 o'clock in the morning.

At that moment, Ganondorf leapt out of the waves behind Zelda and roared.

Zelda: AAARGH! A SEA MONSTER! *Scrambled up onto a rock.*

Ganondorf: Charming…

Zelda: Oh, it's you. Not a sea monster. Just a monster.

Ganondorf: Quiet you. Lady `oh no a single strand of hair is slightly out of place my life is doomed'

Zelda: I'm not paranoid, I'm merely sophisticated. I don't mind if a strand of hair is slightly out of place.

Link: What if it gets wet, when you don't want it?

Zelda: I don't know how I'd react to that.

Ganondorf: Only one way to find out. *Clicked his fingers and she was lifted into the air and over the water, hovered briefly and then dropped down into the water where her whole head was submerged in water*

Zelda: Oh no oh no oh no! I'm soaked and everything. I never get my hair this wet unless I'm washing it. Oh my gosh it's ruined completely. Ganondorf how could you? That was so evil. You're not supposed to be evil here!

Link: That wasn't evil, that was just funny. To do that and then hold you under would be evil.

Ganondorf: Don't tempt me…

After a while

They had all come out the sea and were drying off in the sun. Ganondorf and Zelda were sunbathing to dry off. Link was sat in the sun re-building his sand-castle. This one was much bigger than his old one, quite tall too. And he was very proud of it. It had a moat, a bridge, a high wall around the edge, a tower at each corner. On the door he had carved a large L and he'd even got a canon on the top to fend off intruders.

Link: There, one complete sand-castle. *He stood back to admire his work*

Ganondorf: *Went over to have a look* It's a fortress. A sand fortress.

Link: It's a castle!

Ganondorf: No.

He stepped away and closed his eyes. He seemed to be concentrating. He waved his hands slowly infront of him and muttered something under his breath. Slowly, the sand began to move. It rose up and up, and started swirling around until Link couldn't see Ganondorf anymore because of the sand flying around. He heard Ganondorf clap his hand, and everything went still. Link stared in disbelief. Infront of him stood the biggest, most detailed sand castle he'd ever seen. It must have been near 8 foot tall, with a moat around the outside. All the towers were flawless, every window perfect. The detail was outstanding, right down to every crack on each individual brick. At the front was a drawbridge and even lanterns with fire created out of sand. Everything about it was impeccable.

Ganondorf: That is a sand-castle.

Zelda: That's amazing. How…?

Ganondorf: I've had plenty practice. There was a lot of sand around where I grew up.

Zelda: I see.

Link: Well I still think mine's a castle…

At that moment a ball flew out of what seemed like no-where and straight into the castle. It went up in an explosion of sand. Everyone shielded their eyes. By the time they opened them again, all there was infront of them was a pile of sand with a ball on-top of it.

Ganondorf: What the? My castle! Who the hell threw that? They'll pay. *Clenched his fist*

Link: It was only a sand-castle.

Ganondorf: No, it was my sand-castle.

Link: But still, it's nothing major.

Ganondorf: It destroyed yours too.

Link: WHAT? How dare they. They'll pay. You mark my words they will.

It wasn't long before someone called over to them.

Link: What are they saying?

Zelda: I think they want their ball back and want you to throw it to them.

Link: Oh. *He picked up the ball* You want this?

The people nodded

Link threw the ball in the air, whipped out his master sword and sliced it down the middle, cutting it exactly in half. He then stepped on the two pieces of deflated beach ball and stamped them into the sand. And then smiled.

Ganondorf: They want a ball? They can have this one.

A sphere of glowing energy materialised in his hand. He stared at the small crowd of people, who were shouting and waving their arms wildly at Link for destroying their ball. They all fell silent as they saw what Ganondorf was holding, as it grew in size and strength. Ganondorf muttered something like `catch this' and then launched the force as hard as he could straight toward them. As it hit, it erupted into a hoard of energy and knocked everyone close through the air and back a fair few metres, where they lay stunned in complete shock and fright if not from being hurled rearward by a ball of powerful might.

Link: Nicely done.

Ganondorf: And they say violence doesn't solve anything. That's a lie. It solves almost everything.

Zelda: Oh I can't believe you two! Come on we are leaving before somebody sees me around the two of you. And before you both end up getting arrested.

Day 11

It was mid morning. The sun was warm and the air was light. Birds sang in the trees and everything was pleasant and still. This was soon disturbed by a white pony as it flew full speed through the trees.

Zelda: Link! I can't stop! HELP ME!

Link: Um, just er…hold on and sit back. And keep your head down. These branches are quite low and *There was a faint thump, followed by a thud and a rustle*…oh too late.

Link ran over to find Zelda sat on the floor looking displeased.

Zelda: Next time my horse needs waking up, I'll do it myself! Look at the grass stain on my white dress. That'll never come out, and I got a face full of leaves.

Link: We may have a slightly larger problem to think about right now. That thing won't stop…

The pony just ran round and round the trees, darting in and out of Link's sight.

Zelda: If we can just chase it back into the paddock, it'll have to stop then. Come on Link, I'm sure we can manage that.

So that's what they did. Or rather, that's what Link did. Zelda ran out of the way as soon as the pony came within 3 metres of her, and Ganondorf was sat on the roof. Laughing at them. (The other two of course, didn't think of looking for somebody on the roof, so didn't know he was there) Link found himself doing more sprinting than he could remember doing in his whole life, until he eventually managed to steer it into the paddock.

Link: *Completely out of breath* I was never a good sprinter…

Zelda: Well you did a very good job. Very good, round of applause for you and…oh. Watch out!

Link turned round to see the horse charging straight toward him. He stood his ground, as Malon had told him if a horse charges, don't run. They stop…usually. And usually they do. But not this time. This time, the horse just completely ignored Link's presence and went straight over the top of him.

Link: *After being trampled* Ouch…

Ganondorf: *Had conveniently decided to turn up, grabbed the horse and swung it round to a halt, after nearly getting dragged off his feet* Come here you little bugger.

Link: *Slowly got to his feet* I was wondering when you were going to arrive. You should have been here to help catch that thing in the first…

Ganondorf: Move to your right.

Link did so, just in time to see Arravis charge past him. He closed his eyes briefly as the dust clouded around him. By the time he opened them again, Arravis was still going at full power with Ganondorf holding to it's mane getting dragged along backwards. Eventually, somehow (but I'm not sure exactly how as he was barely actually on his feet, even for brief moments. More of getting flung around here there and everywhere) he managed to turn the horse toward the paddock. It charged through the gate, which Link slammed shut behind them as soon as both horses were in. Link wondered why Ganondorf hadn't just let go when the horse pulled him over, but then realised he wasn't holding on. He had his hand caught. Arravis then charged toward the gate ready to jump it.

Ganondorf: Arravis…don't you dare…just…stop…or turn away. from. the. gate

The horse did turn away. Very sharply. So sharply that Ganondorf's hand became free from the mane (Or rather, the mane snapped) and he flew straight on.

Ganondorf: Not like that!

Only Arravis was quite close to the it at the time, so Ganondorf flew straight into the metal five bar gate. Knocked into the top of it, flipped and twisted round in all sorts of directions as his feet and arms became tangled up in the bars, came over the top and then crashed head first to the floor. But landed on his back. With his right arm and leg still twisted up through the bars. And his left arm behind him putting himself in an arm-lock. His left leg was bent round in a way which wasn't normal. So basically in a bit of a mangled up mess.

Ganondorf: *Didn't attempt to move* Ok that one hurt.

Link: Perhaps it's best we don't take the horses out today…

Zelda: Yes, let's not. How about a nice walk into the woods?

Ganondorf: Great! A walk… I think I broke my legs…and arms…and everything…

Later, in the forest.

They had been walking for some time. They were completely surrounded by olive trees and had no idea where they were. Something caught Link's eye. It was a large tree with a sloping trunk, littered with ruts and holes. There were branches sprouting from every direction as he looked further and further up the tree.

Link: Wow, that tree is just made for climbing. *Ran off and started to scramble up the tree*

Zelda: Don't fall down.

Link: I'll do my best not to. And if I do I'll try to fall on Ganondorf, not you.

Ganondorf: Right, I'll stop here for a bit then. *Sat down away from the tree Link was half way up already*

Zelda also stopped and sat by a tree. Suddenly Ganondorf saw a movement in the leaves near to where he was sat. He moved them, and there infront of him was a very large spider. He shied away.

Ganondorf: Are they poisonous?

(From the Pirate's charm) Rarau: No, not those ones.

Ganondorf: Are you sure. As in absolutely positively certain about that.

Rarau: I am absolutely positively certain they are not poisonous even if they do bite.

After hearing this, Ganondorf picked up the spider and let it run over his hands.

Zelda: You just don't learn do you! How can you do that and don't you dare bring that over here if you do I'll, I'll…I don't know what I'll do but it won't be very nice!

Ganondorf: Well they live in the leaves on the floor.

Zelda scrambled up the tree after Link.

Link: Hey, you heard him. It's not harmful so don't be scared Zelda. What's to be scared of.

Zelda: Um…the fact that it's a spider.

Link: Ah yes, the arachnophobia. Do we have any food? I'm hungry.

Zelda: You're sat in an olive tree. You can eat those.

Link *Tried one of the olives* O.k, I don't like olives. Don't we have any biscuits or something? Hey, you down there, anything?

Zelda: I brought some bread with me in-case we got hungry. Oh damn I left it down there. Here, throw it up to us.

Ganondorf: What? Oh, right. *Threw the loaf of bread up into the tree*

Zelda almost caught it, but just let it slip out of her hand. It fell a short way and then got lodged in a branch a little below her.

Link: I'll get it.

He climbed down the tree until he was level with the food. Fortunately, there was a branch leading to right above it, so he would be able to reach down to it. Slowly he edged himself along, keeping a tight grip to the branch which swayed slightly in the gentle breeze. It wasn't long before he was close enough to grab the bread and turn round. As he did so, there was a distinct cracking sound.

Link: Oh dear…

The other two stared at Link, who had gone quite pale. Slowly Link edged his way back, being cautious not to make and sudden movements. Zelda could see the crack in the branch getting bigger and bigger with every action Link made. He was almost back, when he heard the one sound he had been dreading. A snap.

Link: Oh Farore!

The branch gave way completely and Link came down with it. It tumbled down the tree, bouncing and twisting between other branches all the way. Link on the other hand landed with a thump on a strong branch quite near the base of the tree. Which was all well and good, apart from one leg landed one side of the branch, the other leg over the opposite side. His eye's went so wide they almost came out of their sockets.

Link: Ulghtch…!

Ganondorf: *Cringed* Oooh right in the family jewels!

Zelda: Link, are you ok? Link…? Answer me, oh please be ok. Is he ok?

Ganondorf: I don't know. That was nasty. It hurts just to think about it…

Link had fallen to the floor, and lay there staring up into space, not aware of anything going on around him. Zelda waved her hand infront of his eyes, but this had no effect.

Zelda: Oh the poor man. What's wrong with him? Why won't he make any response?

Ganondorf: I think he's blacked out. He's not dead, he's breathing. Just blacked out.

Zelda *Made a cushion for his head out of her shall, and looked worried.* Will he be ok?

Ganondorf: I should think so. Just be a bit of a shock, that's all. Oh Din, that image's engraved in my memory for life. That looked so bad…

Link suddenly came round and blinked a few times then rolled his eyes, but didn't move. When he spoke his voice was very faint and wispy.

Link: You don't know the pain…

Zelda: That's true. But that's a good thing, for me.

Ganondorf: I have a fairly good idea of what it's like…*Cringed again*

Link: Water…need…water…

Zelda: I have some here, take it. Shall we go back to the apartment? We can get some dinner and you can have a proper rest.

Link: Yes…

Ganondorf jumped up one of the trees to find out which way to go. After scanning the scene for a moment, he knew which way to go.

Zelda: Right, I'll help you stand up. *Pulled Link onto his feet*

Link: *Fell back on his knees* Can't…walk…

Zelda: Oh, I'm sure you can once you've stood a moment.

Ganondorf: Actually, he probably can't. Not to worry, I can carry him. *Lifted Link and carried him over his shoulder* Right let's go. *Snapped his fingers. He and Link instantly teleported back to the apartment*

Zelda: Oh thanks for just leaving me.

Ganondorf then appeared again, grabbed her arm and teleported them both away.

Day 12

Day 12 early morning,
And all through the house,
Nothing was stirring,
Not even a mouse,
(Or a centipede)

With no signal no warn,
A Pirate's charm glows ,
In the earl of the dawn,
And no-body knows.

Within this residence,
The first one to arise,
Ok annoyance I sense,
To the norm I will strive.

No, seriously. I'll stop now! (I'm annoying myself, if not any of you.)

Ganondorf, being downstairs and near to the sitting area, where Link left the pirate's charm, aroused slowly from his slumber. Being the `early bird' that he was, sighed, stretched, and turned over to go back to sleep. However the noise coming from the charm kept him awake. As he really didn't want to get up, he tried to take no notice and go to sleep. But then fell out of bed.

Ganondorf: (Mumbled) Stupid charm thing. *Got to his feet, and banged his head on the ceiling* Stupid low roof.

Eventually, he managed to find the pirate's charm, which was rested on the woven table.

Ganondorf: *Still half asleep. Still almost fully asleep in this case* What the hell do you want now? (He sounded dull and a little angry)

Rarau: Well, somebody got out of the wrong side of bed this morning.

Ganondorf: No. Thanks to you and your stupid stone thing, I fell out of the wrong side of bed this morning.

Rarau: Oh, well. Just to tell you this is your last day and you're expected back in Hyrule this evening. Go and tell the others.

Ganondorf: *Threw the Pirate's charm up the narrow, steep stairs.* You bloody-well tell 'em yourself. I'm going outside. *Stomped off outside, punching the door down rather than opening it*

A few minutes later

Link had left Zelda to talk to Rarau and wandered outside, stepping over what was left of the door. He went over to see the horses. There were many small birds on the ground, pecking away at the dust. Suddenly they all fluttered away as Arravis came charging over to see Link, then noticing he had nothing for him, charged away again. Link watched the birds as they darted round the tree-tops. He then noticed Ganondorf sat on the roof.

Link: What the hell are you doing up there?

Ganondorf: *Clenched his teeth and stared straight ahead, not looking happy* Not being noticed.

Link: Oh, might I ask why?

Ganondorf: No, because you haven't noticed me.

Link: Ok now I'm confused.

Ganondorf jumped down from the roof and landed by Link. (It wasn't a high roof, it was only one story high where he jumped from. Half the house was only one story, the other half was two, but the downstairs was built into the rock as the mountain was rather steep. So basically, from one side it looked like one story from the other it looked like 2 stories high, even though the roof was the same height all the way round) Anyway, as I was saying. Ganondorf jumped down.

Link: Er…hello. I didn't notice you there. Did you get out of the wrong side of bed this morning? You seem a bit moody.

Ganondorf: No, I fell out of the wrong side that bed after being woken up by that stupid charm thing and then whacked my head really hard on that stupid low ceiling so yes I am a little flight.

Link: Oh. How can you become un-moody?

Ganondorf: *Jumped back up and landed gently on the roof* By sitting on my own on the roof and relaxing, possibly catching up on some shut-eye as it's only quarter past 8 in the morning. And not being noticed.

A few moments later Zelda came out, picking her way over the broken door. Link was stood gazing round, wandering what to do.

Zelda: Link. Why. Is the door, lying on the floor in pieces?

Link: I er…couldn't find the key. So I had to kick it down. I did look for it but couldn't find it so…

Zelda: Link, there isn't a key. The door doesn't lock.

Link: Oh. Well that explains why I couldn't find the key.

Zelda: Link, you broke the door!

Link: Oh well, it's not like we're staying here much longer anyway. Come on, let's go have a game of cards.

They both went and sat at the table. Zelda got out her set of playing cards and dealt them out.

Zelda: Have you seen Ganondorf anywhere? He's not in the house.

Link: No. I haven't noticed him anywhere. Nope, nowhere whatsoever. Not at all. I have absolutely no idea where he could possibly be.

Zelda: Are you lying?

Link: No not at all. Why would I lie. Do you think I'm the type of person who'd lie?

Zelda: Well not usually. But you have been acting strange this morning. And you've been acting different from usual this holiday.

Link: What? Me, a liar? I am *Slammed his hand down on the cards* I am offended. SNAP!

Zelda: Hey you distracted me, how can you win that pile?

Link: Because I put my hand down and I said snap first.

About an hour later

They were all outside enjoying the warm sun and gentle breeze. Ganondorf had decided to come down off the roof and let himself be noticed again. He was in a much better mood. He and Link were both having a game of five's and Zelda was again reading her book.

Link: I win!

Zelda: Well I'm glad your feeling better.

Ganondorf: *Cringed* That must have been so painful…

Link: It was. Like, no pain I've ever felt before.

Zelda: Yes, well to change the subject. I'll read you some of my book. It's called `The Love of Zayolin'. Zayolin is a wandering princess who falls in love with a mysterious stranger named Sonal, but her father won't allow them to be together so they run away together, finding true happiness within each other.'

Link: Oh how romantic. *Sarcasm*

Zelda: Well then, I'll begin…

So she did. And she kept on reading and reading. Of course, Link and Ganondorf gave up listening after 2 minutes. After 20 minutes, Link wanted her to stop. So instead of asking, he picked her up and threw her in the pool. This was followed by a push from Ganondorf so Link splashed in after her. As Ganondorf turned away, Link snatched his leg and dragged him in too.

Link: If only we had a ball.

Zelda: Yes, we could play games with that. Or one of those things with air in that you float on. Wouldn't that be nice on the last day of our holidays.

They both looked at Ganondorf.

Ganondorf: Ok, ok I'm going already. *Teleported into the town*

Link: Why I thought he'd never go…

Zelda: That was exactly what you were planning, wasn't it.

Link: Yes.

Ganondorf soon re-appeared with 4 beach balls, 3 lilos and 3 inflatable rings.

Link: It'll take ages to blow all these up…

Ganondorf: Now you're just taking advantage, but what the hell. *Clapped his hands three times and all of them were inflated*

They all splashed around in the pool for some time. Link and Zelda had a race to see who was fastest on the lilo. Link won easily. The three of them also had competitions to see who could stand up the longest on their lilo and who could balance on the inflatable tyres the most amount of times. With the tyres they also played tag, target practice (throwing each other into the centre of the rings. Zelda threw the rings onto the other two, as she couldn't lift them) and Link gave Ganondorf a wrestling match on the lilos and they both ended up almost everywhere apart from the on lilos. They then played `piggy in the middle' with the beach balls, after Link insisted in showing off with his juggling skills and after that, just messed around for a while. By the time they came out the pool, they were quite tired. They were all relaxing in the heat when Rarau reminded them they had to return the horses to the farm. And wouldn't stop `reminding them' hoping it would annoy them into doing it. It didn't. Link only threw the charm to the bottom of the pool under the waterfall so the sound of Rarau was drowned out. (No pun intended)

Later

They were gently hacking up the road, heading to the farm where they got the two ponies from. Zelda didn't want to give them back. She wanted to keep them.

Zelda: I'll miss you. I'll always remember you, and I think you're so lovely. I really, really don't want you to go back but I haven't got a choice.

Link: I'm sure she'll be ok. You'll see, when we get back to Hyrule and you have Minstrel again you won't miss Filika.

Zelda: Yes I will. I haven't had a girl horse before.

Link: She lives here though and this is what she knows. She'll be happy here.

Zelda: She might not be. The other horses might be nasty to her. And then she'd be miserable.

Link: Don't be silly, I'm sure everything will be fine. Anyway, we're here now.

They came slowly through the entrance, where they were met by the same man as before. He was happy to see them, but backed away when he saw Ganondorf. Link handed the reins of his horse to the man, and gave Perry a pat.

Link: Good lad. Good lad. *Turned to Zelda and spoke gently* It's time to say goodbye to Filika now.

Zelda: But…I don't want to say goodbye. Link, you take her. I can't give her back…

So Link took the pony off her and handed it to the farmer. Zelda looked away and swallowed hard, trying to hold back tears. Link went over to her and put his hand on her shoulder and walked her away. As soon as they were back out on the road, she burst into tears.

Link: There there, it's all right.

Zelda: *Wiped tears from her eyes* But it's not. I'm going to miss her loads and you don't understand. We got on really well. Minstrel's nice and safe to ride but in the stables he's rough and Impa has to be in with me all the time. It's like Minstrel's some sort of object which isn't mine and I can't be trusted with it. But with Filika it's different. She was so friendly and safe to be around. She kept nudging me for cuddles and adores attention. She might not get much attention there or he might not have time for her. Oh Link I love that pony so much I can't bear to think of her unhappy. I just…love her so much. *She started crying again*

Zelda insisted the three of them went back to the farm so she could say good-bye properly. Link, feeling sorry for her agreed. Ganondorf also followed on Arravis. As they approached, they saw Filika tied up, but she had her foot tangled in the rope and she hadn't been un-tacked. They were about to go and help when they saw the farmer storm over to her, shouting and waving his arms furiously. The pony veered away with fear. The man continued to rave at it, regardless that the gentle pony was terrified as he untied it and dragged it over to a different tree, where he tied the rope very short.

Zelda: Oh my poor darling. *Almost started to cry again* She didn't mean to get tangled in the ropes he didn't need to do that. Link, he's hitting her. She's frightened. Do something Link.

Link: What am I to do? Even if you could keep it, he wouldn't let you.

Ganondorf: *Dismounted and handed Link the reins of his horse* Hold him.

He then walked over to the farmer, who was still raving at the horse which was desperately trying to get away in fear, and tapped him on the shoulder. The man spun round, still shouting and raging on. He soon quietened down as he stared up at Ganondorf, who towered over him. Ganondorf held out his hand.

Ganondorf: The horse. Now.

The man just stood and stared, too frightened to move, as Ganondorf's orange, burning, eyes were piercing his soul with their evil glare.

Ganondorf: I said NOW *Hit him to the floor and snatched the reins out of the mans hand and lead the pony away*

Link *Came over and gave the man a kick in the ribs.* How dare you abuse such a beautiful animal.

Zelda: Oh my darling you're safe now. *Ran over and gave the pony a big hug*

Link: What the hell will your dad say when you bring home a horse?

Zelda: Oh, I'll just tell him it's a souvenir. Let's go.

They were heading toward the town when a whole crowd of people carrying all kinds of weaponry (pitch forks etc.) came marching up the road toward them. Everybody stopped. Link recognised a few of the faces near the front. There were the people from the beach, a few shop keepers and the owner of the restaurant they had eaten at in town. They all looked pretty angry and aggressive. One of them called out, and then they all began shouting.

Link: Are they shouting at us?

Zelda: I think so. And waving their weapons at us. That's not good.

Link: I reckon I could take them on. *He then noticed practically the entire towns-worth of people backing the crowd* Well perhaps not. Change of plan, Run. Away.

And that's what they did. Link hitched a ride on Arravis.

Ganondorf: I think maybe you shouldn't have threatened to kill those people, Link.

Link: Well it seemed like a good idea at the time.

At that moment a crowd of people appeared infront of them from the other direction.

Zelda: News travels fast round here. That really doesn't pose as good for us.

Link: Left! Go left through the trees.

Zelda: We're back at the farm. And I don't think he's pleased to see us.

Ganondorf: Usually, I'd just kill off a few of them to scare the rest away.

Link: And supposing that just made the rest of them even angrier?

Ganondorf: Simple. Kill `em all.

Zelda: No not here. Not that many people. Not any of them. Oh hell there's more infront of us.

Link: Go right. Go right! Man, they get everywhere.

They galloped through the trees, but everywhere they went, the crowd of angry residents seemed to get there first. They obviously knew the place well and knew all the short-cuts.

Ganondorf: Erm Link, we may have a slight problem ahead of us…

Link: What could be much worse than the one behind us?

Ganondorf: *Pointed infront of them* That one.

Link turned to where he was pointing. He gazed in horror. He knew he didn't actually want to hurt anyone, but this could mean he would have to. As this would mean the need to stop and turn round. The only other option would be…no that definitely wasn't going to work.

Link: Oh this is not the place for a cliff. It's just not the place.

They stopped at the edge.

Zelda: Now what? Link what shall we do?

Link: First of all, stay calm. Second of all. Prepare to fight.

Zelda: Link we can't! There's too many of them and I don't know how to fight.

Ganondorf: Well now would be a good time to learn.

He and Link drew their weapons. Link went and stood infront of Zelda, then handed her a sword.

Suddenly the whole herd of angry mobs charged forward. The three of them stood their ground. (Not like they had a choice anyway) Link charged his sword and at the last moment let loose with a spin slash, knocking many to backwards. Ganondorf leapt into the air and then crashed down his fist to the ground, radiating a wave of energy from the impact. Arravis, now without a rider, charged forward and drove back the crowd. Zelda and Filika backed away as far as they could. Link and Ganondorf continued to fight hard. Link was also using his shield to fend people off. It was complete chaos. No matter how many they managed to drive away, more seemed to attack. Link tried not to actually kill anyone, just hit them back. Ganondorf didn't care if he killed them or not.

Link: *Amidst the fighting* I can't believe I'm actually fighting for you, rather than against you.

Ganondorf: I could say the same about you. Life really is full of surprises.

Zelda *Was still keeping as far away as possible* Oh no lots of people will be killed. This is awful. If only we could get away we wouldn't need to fight.

She then looked round and saw a bluish glow in the sky. She couldn't see what it was, but soon realised it was a vortex. She called out to Link. He and Ganondorf looked round briefly.

Rarau: Well don't just stay there, get back to Hyrule now before you kill the entire population of the island!

Ganondorf mounted his horse and pulled Link into the saddle. The vortex then disappeared and reappeared infront of Zelda. She urged Filika on, but the horse wouldn't go through. Link jumped down from Arravis and grabbed hold of Filika and pulled her through. It then disappeared again as some people tried to jump through.

Link: You can't just leave Ganondorf there.

Rarau: Why not? We want rid of him, remember?

Zelda: Oh so you're just going to leave the other world with him? In the place where they have absolutely no way of stopping him? Then you're evil if you do that. He doesn't care abut killing every single one of those people. As far as he is concerned, he's in a battle and as I'm sure Link is aware, in battles the aim is to defeat the enemy even if that means killing them.

Rarau: Oh I should have thought!

The vortex appeared again and Ganondorf and Arravis charged into it. It then closed behind them, leaving the rest of the of people behind. Totally baffled.

Chamber of Sages

Rarau: Well now that you're all here. I DEMAND AN EXPLAINATION!

Link: Well er…you see um. They were angry and were going to kill us if we didn't fight back and so we had to or else we'd be killed.

Rarau: And why were they angry at you?

Ganondorf: The hell has that got to do with you? Sticking your freggin nose in where it's not wanted. Acting as though you have authority over us. Expect us to tell you everything do you? First of all, it's none of your business and secondly, nobody actually cares. Get out of where you're not wanted. Back off old timer and stop nosing around other people's lives just because yours sucks.

Rarau: How dare you speak to me like that! I am the Sage of Light, a highly respected figure.

Ganondorf: I'll speak to you how I want, oh one to whom I give my none-existent respect.

Link: Rarau, just calm down. You're not our parents. Remember that. Besides, he has a damn good point. It's all over now and there's nothing you, or I can do about it. Ok so we don't act all goodie goodie all the time, but what the hell. No-one really cares. If I want you to know what happened, I shall discuss it with you. But as I don't, I wont. Get over it, moments passed get on with life. After all, it could all end soon. For you it probably will.

Rarau: What? Link I expect better from you.

Zelda: Rarau, just let it go. It's done now, nothing we can do to change it so let it go. You're so serious all the time! Hey, we live our own lives. You live yours. Notice how they are different things, and some parts of life are meant to be kept apart from one another. As in it's none of your business.

Rarau: Oh I don't have to take this kind of behaviour from anybody. Go home, the lot of you. Get out of my sight.

So they all left. Link strolled straight past Rarau and didn't even look at him. Ganondorf lead his horse on foot and purposefully knocked into Rarau, who fell backwards. Zelda trotted besides them blissfully on Filika.

Link: *Turned to Ganondorf* I saw that.

Ganondorf: What?

Link: What you put down his back. And after he let you go on holiday and everything. That's just not nice.

Ganondorf: And your point is? I have a reputation to keep up here.

Link: Yes of course, your King of Evil again. How could I forget…

Rarau: What did he just do? Is there something….AAAAAARGH there is! Get it off get it off! *Ran round in circles trying to shake it off his back* I was going to let you use the vortex to get back….but now you can all walk!

Zelda: Oh great now we have to walk. Thank you Ganondorf.

Link: Yeah, nice going. It's a long way back from here and now thanks to you we have to walk. It'll take ages and I'm already tired. I hope you feel bad now we're going to be all sore and worn out by the time we get back.

Ganondorf: Correction. You two have to walk. I'm outa here. *Teleported away back to his castle*

Zelda: Oh that's just nasty. He'll come back for us when his conscience gets to him. Just leaving us in the middle of nowhere. He'll feel bad and come back for us.

Ganondorf *Re-appeared for a moment* Guilt is not an emotion that I feel. Have a nice walk. Ahahaha *Disappeared again*

Zelda: Well I see he's back to his normal self. Let's go home. Worry about that later.

Link: Y'know. After all what's happened, all that we've done and getting on so well together. Back here. Things just haven't changed!
